Battle For The SEC East
Oct 4th, 2007 by Nick
Tonight is a big night for #11 USC. They will be taking on the undefeated #8 Ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Some analysts have dubbed this as the most important game of the SEC this year. Im sure my friend David Lithman thinks that this weekends matchup of #9Florida and #1LSU is going to be a better game. Maybe I should have asked David which game he thought would be more entertaining and who he thought the winners of each game would be. True, this weekend Florida game will be exciting, however, if Florida had not lost to Auburn last weekend, there would have been whole lot more hype behind it. Imagine that #1 LSU 5-0 vs #3 Florida 5-0. That would have possibly been the game of the year in all of college football, not just the SEC.But back to USC. Tonights game is going to be televised on ESPN. Im sure it is going to be a sellout crowd, which means 80K plus fans packed into the stadium, its a Thursday night so no one is going to their early classes tomorrow. (im not even going to my evening class tonight). Im sure some students will have already started their weekend around 5 oclock…The atmosphere is going to be amazing. I just hope it doesnt rain. The past few days have been overcast with scattered showers.
This game is pretty exciting for my family because all of my mom’s relatives live in Kentucky and many of them went to UK. She herself went to UK. I have always been a UK fan because lets face it, USC hasnt done much in college athletics over the past decade in basketball and football. Meanwhile, UK won several conference and national championships. But, now that I am a Gamecock, it is an obligation that I cheer for them. If I am going to pay tuition for them, I want a few wins. So, im sure all of my cousins are going to be watching it. I hope USC wins, otherwise Christmas break in Kentucky is going to be miserable.
Look for me in the student section. Ill be surrounded by all of the other students wearing garnet and black.
